“I don’t know how to use TikTok, but I can write in cursive, do long division, and tell time”

“I don’t know how to use TikTok, but I can write in cursive, do long division, and tell time on clocks with hands” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. The speaker is “old school” and is probably over thirty years old.

Wikipedia: TikTok
TikTok, known in China as Douyin (Chinese: 抖音; pinyin: Dǒuyīn), is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance. The social media platform is used to make a variety of short-form videos, from genres like dance, comedy, and education, that have a duration from 3 seconds to 1 minute (3 minutes for some users). TikTok is an international version of Douyin, which was originally released in the Chinese market in September 2016.

No, I can’t do Snapchat or Tiktok but I can write in cursive,
do math without a calculator and tell time on a clock with hands.
